The Spanish Flu By: Kiera , Victoria & Xavier

WHO People around the globe Antarctica North America Europe Asia Africa South America Mostly young, healthy people (20-30 year olds) Pregnant women who miscarried, almost always

died 85% of Aboriginals died along the Peace River Killed 50 million people world wide Seniors and children had a less of a chance to get

sick

WHAT People got vaccinations Then they got: Symptoms like: high fever, delirium, headache,

nosebleed, sever cough, pneumonia Delirium: you have no idea what you are saying

are doing, feels like you are in a dream. Pneumonia: inflammation of the lungs

WHERE Antarctica North America Europe Asia Africa South America All through out the globe In every city, every town

WHEN October 9 , 1918 Ended spring of 1919 3 waves, between 1918 and

1919. The earliest sighting of people

getting sick was in 1913, but it

was very few people.

WHY Because of the doctors vaccinations Spanish were the first to say that they had a

pandimedic It spread because they were sick, but they didn’t

know that at first. They also never covered up their mouths or noses Originally started in Fort Riley, Kansas

HOW People who had it coughed or sneezed on other

people Spreads like a normal flu Actually came from vaccinations It spread to Canada from the

soldiers coming home from the war

(when they came home, they couldn’t

touch their wives, because of all the

diseases they had)

Death Tolls Saskatchewan: over 5,000 deaths Alberta: 33,000-38,000 cases, 3,000-4,000 deaths British Columbia: There are no provincial statistics,

but Vancouver alone there were 800-1,000 deaths Manitoba: There are no provincial statistics, but

Sad Interesting Facts The total number of deaths in Canada was up to

50,000, that was still less than half of 1% of Canada’s population

85% Aboriginals died in the Peace River area Aboriginal mother,(husband already died) paddled

down 33 miles passing Kapuskasing, with a 6 mile portage to find a doctor for her 2 kids.

In Calgary they had ran out of coffins so they put the corpses on their cabin roofs
